Whichever ... It's a complete waste of money.

Who cares?

I would *never* consider putting something in my eye that had not been
tested by a reputable medical authority. Consider the possible
consequences of dropping an unknown chemical from an unknown source
into your eyes.

according tho this website the main chemical in that eye drop is
Methylene Blue which accordin to a search:

May cause skin and eye irritation. Absorption into the body may lead
to formation of methemoglobin, which in sufficient concentration
causes cyanosis. Possible delayed onset = 2 to 4 hrs. Exposure can
cause stomach pains, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, headache.

Therh is also no mention of FDA approval and the website does not look
very professional. Note the pictures the post of the eye changing
color, it looks like the exact same picture but the color has been
modified in photoshop. Especially note how the eyelashes are in the
exact same position, showing that they didn not take multiple
pictures, just modified the first image. This website screams "scam"
They don't even provide a phone number or physicall address. Plus the
price is horrendous you could buy contacts that cost way less.

I identified the owner of the website, with contact information, using Whois.

You might want to try and call the number found there. If it's
disconnected that's a good sign it's a scam.

Anyway, I agree with the others...why even risk it?

This is a total BS product, first line reads:

Eye color is determined by the amount of pigment in the iris of the
human eye.  Originally, without taking iridial pigment into account, a
human eye would appear a clear light blue.  This is because the back
of the eye refracts light entering it in a similar way to the way the
sky does, making the light being refracted out of it appear a clear
light blue.

Urm no Mr. scammer it is the genes for eye color are determine by the
amount of melanin produced by the body (genetics) this also determines
your skin color.

Oh and the light reflected from your retina is red. This is most
evident when taking a photo with a flash, and produces "red eye"
photos. Most eyes in babies start blue/grey then you body produces
melanin then your true eye color becomes evident. And those without
melanin are albino.

So to truely change your genetic eye color, you would have to change a
gene or stop your body from producing melanin. A genetic alteration is
what causes "not normal" eye color compaired to melanin levels.

Anyhow, enough ranting, and you couldn't pay ME $2000 to take that stuff!

BTW as metioned above, you can buy contacts with 0 correction, if
thats what you want to do.
